Here is a quick snapshot of what’s happening around town the next 48 hours.
STUFF TO DO
Friday: Starting at 2 p.m., Songs of the Earth blends powerful music with themes of nature, belonging, and our connection to the world around us in an afternoon performance that’s both moving and thought-provoking. Whether you’re a lifelong classical music fan or simply looking for a unique cultural experience, it’s a chance to slow down and be inspired at the Westben Performing Arts Centre near Campbellford.
Friday: Starting at 12 p.m., Of the Beehive celebrates the beauty and inspiration of the natural world through the collaborative artwork of Heather Stubbs alongside new pieces from members of the Colborne Art Gallery. It’s a wonderful opportunity to slow down, take in local creativity, and discover something new at the Colborne Art Gallery in Colborne.
Saturday: Starting at 8 a.m., the Hastings Village Market is the kind of place where a quick stop often turns into a leisurely morning, with fresh produce, baked goods, handmade crafts, and friendly faces around every corner. Browse at your own pace, chat with local vendors, and enjoy the welcoming small-town atmosphere along Front Street in downtown Hastings.
Saturday: Starting at 9 a.m., the Hastings D&D Festival transforms fantasy into reality with live role-playing games, medieval combat demonstrations, archery, axe throwing, vendors, and plenty of adventures for seasoned players and curious newcomers alike. Whether you arrive in costume or just want to see what the excitement is all about, it’s a one-of-a-kind day of imagination and family fun at Blades of Glory Medieval Park in Hastings.
